Reforestation Accomplishments Indicate Continued Progress
A review of reforestation
accomplishments by the bu-
reau of land management in
the Medford district indicates
that continued progress has
been made during the past fis
cal year, according to District
Manager Ross A. Youngblood,
Activities under reforesta-
tion are ever increasing as
ELM lands are brought under
more intensive management.
he noted.
During the past year, 4,138
acres were planted with two-
year old ponderosa pine or
Douglas-fir seedlings. An aa
ditional 2,876 acres were
seeded to Douglas-fir, ponder
osa pine or sugar pine.
Three methods of seeding
were employed: aerial seeding
of Douglas-fir using a heli
copter, hand broadcast seed
ing of Douglas-fir using
cvclone seeder, and seed spot
ting of ponderosa pine and
sugar pine using a seed spot
tine hand tool which dis
penses from 3 to 5 seeds in a
spot on the ground.
Harbicides Applied
Herbicides were applied
aerially on 683 acres to kill
brush and release the exist
ing tree reproduction from
competition with dense brush
stands, Youngblood noted. An
additional 521 acres of tlmoer
land were cleared of a dense
brush cover using a large
tractor equipped with a spe
cial brush clearing blade.
Approximately 5,240 snags
have been felled on 439 acres
to reduce the fire hazard in
regenerating stands, he said.
A new activity was initiat
ed this year. Paper mulch was
placed around 56,000 newly
planted seedlings to increase
survival of the seedlings by
conserving moisture around
the seedling roots.
Mora Exparimental Work
Further experimental work
is being carried on in coopera
tion with the Oregon State
university Forest Research
Laboratory in Corvallis,
Youngblood reported.
Two experimental plots are
located in the Butte Falls area
and two are located in the
Grecnsprings area.
Purpose of the experiments
Is to determine the best meth
ods of reforesting difficult
planting sites.
To assure a successful re
forestation program, BLM
must be assured of a constant
tree seed supply of high
quality seed from desirable
parent trees. To accomplish
this, work has been progress
ing on a seed production area,
Youngblood said.
Slection of the most desir
able trees for seed production
has been made in an area
northeast of Butle Falls along
Twincheria creek. Trees too
close to the selected trees
were removed to allow grow
ing space, and undesirable
trees were removed from the
area. Tnc seed trees were
fertilized with a commercial
fertilizer to increase seed pro
duction. This intensified effort in re
forestation is an upward step
toward more assurance that
future generations will have
an abundant supply of timber
for use in the Medford area,
Youngblood said.
